Apex VS-5RS 18x8.5 Forged Wheel - 5x114.3 BP / ET23 / 64.1mm CB - Satin Bronze (VS5RS1885ET23-51143-641-NSBZ)
The Apex VS-5RS is built for drivers who demand every advantage in performance without sacrificing durability. As the lightest wheel in Apex's Sprint Line, this 18x8.5 forged wheel reduces unsprung and rotational mass to improve steering precision, acceleration, and braking while maintaining the strength required for both spirited street driving and dedicated track use. Finished in a rich Satin Bronze finish, it delivers an unmistakable motorsport appearance that complements any Tesla performance build.
Forged from premium 6061-T6 aluminum using an immense 10,000 metric ton forging process, the VS-5RS utilizes proprietary motorsport forging blanks, deep side-milled spokes, a reinforced Sprint spec inner lip, paintless knurled bead seats, and advanced Finite Element Analysis (FEA). Every wheel is independently tested beyond JWL standards to provide outstanding durability, exceptional brake clearance, and confidence under demanding driving conditions.
